Jos – The Special Task Force (STF), maintaining the peace in Plateau killed “more than 100’’ of the bandits that attacked Lantang villages last week, according to its Commander, Brig. Gen. Henry Ayoola.

“The latest figure of the attackers that fell to our fire works in the counter gun duel is more than 100. We really devastated them because we circled them up from various angles. They have never been so hit.

“STF troops deployed to Magama had first engaged them before they were later supported by additional troops that came from Shndam,’’ Ayoola told reporters in Jos on Wednesday.

Other villages hit by the attackers included Bolgong and Karkashi.
